But, you should just be looking for your range of numbers.You have to talk to someone on the deck to know what numbers are in real time.

The area you're in is considered one of the best areas in Newark and if you renovate those apartments to a high standard you will get rents at the high range of all rents in Newark. 

I started renting a small storage unit where I can keep any extra refrigerator (these had been difficult to find in my local big box stores lately), range and washer and dryer as needed (including if my own washer/dryer suddenly kicks the bucket).

Real estate notes are a great way to collect monthly cashflow without the hassles of property management.What are your objectives with investing?

What is your "all in" price range for rentals and also for flips? 

It seems my purchase price needs to be in the 450k range with a sale in the 600s to see good healthy margins.

Some of the pics are of low range starter homes.

I live in North Charleston, SC so the market is hot right now and well out of my price range, but the investments into this community are going to raise costs even more and I want in now. 

My goal is house-hack a multifamily, 2-4 units in range.

But it definitely does help to get more bang for your buck in the 3-4 unit range.
